STEVIE SALAS check out our massive AMA tv show ending with ADAM LAMBERT tonight then the red eye to nyc for letterman monday KRIS ALLEN rocked ellen Posted at 6:29 PM Nov 22 view more
He was hand-picked by George Clinton as the guitarist for Clinton's albums. He's skipped cities in a private jet with Rod Stewart, playing sold out stadiums.
He signed the largest deal Island Records has ever forked over a new artist. His second solo record album ousted the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith for "Best Album"
in Japan. Most books name him as one of the Top 50 Guitarists of All Time. Mick Jagger tapped him to be his guitarist....
Yadayadaya....
The important fact? Stevie has a new album!
The long story:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Stevie has been nominated in 4 different categories at the APCA's 2009
Hello Stevie! I remember watching THIS KIDS play all over North County, San Diego! Do you have any solid advice for our band? I grew up jammin' with Wally Passet, Luke Albano, and people like that from San Dieguito High School. I am very proud that someone from our area is so succesful in the industry! Wishing you all the best for your career! Joey Bowman (DRUMMER)!
I will be speaking at the Long Beach City College this thurs Nov 19th in the Nordic Lounge starting at 11am to 1pm and it is open to the public so if your in the Long Beach CA area hope to see you there but if not then pass the word to friends that are in the area.
